We got dumped on this past winter! And we're welcoming
the quiet that is mud season, as snow recedes and the first
wildflowers begin to poke their heads through the dirt.
Things will kick into high gear again, but for now, we enjoy
a peaceful town with a handful of road-trippers.
Some search for ski gear year-round. If you're one of them, check out TelemarkSki.com for
tele, Nordic, alpine touring, backcountry and skate ski gear .
